When you reframe the whole world as a jungle with 8 billion animals, your mantra translates to - don’t get hunted, but it’s okay to hunt because that is survival. Primitive instincts.

We still possess our primal instincts, we still have flight flight response involuntarily to something new or unknown, we still fall in the us vs them trap, we cheer for our team, our country, our religion, and shit on the other team, other county, other religion. It takes wisdom to rise above labels, but it’s definitely not instinctive.

The rise of nationalism / individualism world-wide is due to powerful propaganda targeting this exact instinctive behavior of man that tells him that he is superior to his neighbor with the different religion, county of birth, skin color. There’s a reason propaganda relies on rage, anger, & fear because those emotions evoke your animal instincts, bypassing all rational thinking.

We are literally by definition the same species as cavemen.
Most people are selfish imbeciles. Never attribute to malice what you could otherwise attribute to stupidity, but you have to ascend both to get to your standard of people. Thats a heavy ask.
